So

[melayneseahawk]

Mom and Dad have just informed the brother and me that they're getting a divorce.

Is it bad that I saw this coming, and had hoped they could hold out until after my brother was out of the house?

I...I really need to get out of here, I can't deal with this right now. I'd even be up for drinking myself into unconsciousness at this point.

edit: And they've just announced they still want us to do a family vacation this year, attendance theoretically optional (though Mom's already working up to a guilt trip, I can smell it). I can't do this.

I wish my parents would just get it over with and do the same thing. If you need to talk, I'm here.

*hugs* I'm really sorry. That's generic I know, but it has genuine meaning.

Also, I too would be a big No on the family vacation - I can't see that not being tense :/

i don't even like family vacations as it is and my family's somewhat cohesive...

it seems like you'll be okay, at least, of which i'm glad. *hug*

and while i don't know your brother, if he's anything like i was at 15 he's probably more than mature enough to handle something like this and while it won't be the easiest thing in the world, at least he'll have a good big sister to rely on. =)

hey, if it would help if I drove down there, even if it was just for a day or so, let me know. I can provide an escape, though we would have to find somewhere to crash if I stayed the night.

Take care, hon, and call me if you need to talk.

i saw your link on facebook...i'm so sorry to hear about it....i've been through it before if you ever need to talk or vent, just let me know...also, regarding your brother...i was only 12, and navigating the joint custody wasn't as bad as you would think, and evan's a really smart kid, he'll be able to figure out what's best for him...thoughts with you, and be in touch if you need
